North Country lawmakers like Cuomo’s budget, again

There's still a lot of reading to do, but North Country lawmakers say they like Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed 2012-13 budget.

Cuomo presented his fiscal plan during a 45-minute press conference in Albany Tuesday afternoon. It increases state spending by 2 percent and eliminates a $2 billion budget gap. Overall, the total budget comes in about a fraction of a percent less than last year.
